Casino Drive made his debut in February on the turf at Kyoto, winning by 111⁄2 lengths under Yutaka Take.[3]
Casino Drive was scratched from the Belmont and unable to run due to a stone bruise to his left rear hoof.[5]
After a lengthy wait for his return after the Belmont, Casino Drive was started in an allowance race in the fall season to qualify for the Breeders' Cup Classic, easily beating the field. Expected to give a good run for the $5 million Classic, Casino Drive, unbeaten in his three previous starts, was last after setting the pace mid-race. He ended his 2008 campaign with a 6th-place finish in the Japan Cup Dirt. The winner Kane Hekili, won his second Japan Cup Dirt title.[6]
Casino Drive passed away on August 5, 2019, but his death was not officially announced until the Japanese Studbook updated their database in March 2020.[1][9]
